Day 3

Today was great. Amazing what a day off from the usual time-takers will do. I spent my day searching out my list of things for next week. Found the food scale, and bathroom scale, thus freeing up time to search for resistance bands. (i already have a pull-up bar / push-up bar)

I got a new jump rope too, but i don't know if we are going to get along that well. I couldn't seem to get more than one jump with it, and about the 8th time i whipped myself in the toes i was starting to contemplate Rudenticide (the murder of a rope), but some how i don't think it would have quite the same effect.

I ate well today, starting out with a packet of oatmeal (instead of the usual 2) and a piece of toast, then for lunch i had half the usual amount of Cashew chicken. "Mmm chinese food" i thought. But that kind of food is a huge contrast to what i've been eating for the last few days, so afterwards, i was pretty full feeling. It reminded me of when i had to mark down the chinese food i'd eaten for a nutrition class project. As soon as i ate any of that stuff, my sodium level rose to an amount that probably could have lasted me a few days.

Anyways, i thought it only fitting to consume only half of my fortune cookie, and half of my fortune.

"You could prosper in a fe..."

And the suspense reigns in. I "could prosper in a"...Few? Fellowship? Ferrous Environment? Felonious Organization? Federal Profession? This is important information here, this message could be the defining factor of which path i ultimately take in life.

So, six hours later i ate the other half, and read the other half, and i must say it wasn't nearly as exciting as any of my idea's.

I find myself looking at my food trying to figure out which half of the meal looks more fulfilling.
Oh, and i ate 9 Jelly Bellies (out of a serving size of 35, and against my usual of three fistfuls), pretty fulfilling at the time, but, not fulfilling now. And that's really the trick, for me at least, is remembering that i won't be enjoying those later. It's just the greed of the moment that takes hold of you, or rather, tells you that it has hold of you (it's your choice whether or not to believe it)

The rest of my day i spent doing Latin homework, getting my oil changed, avoiding looking at my place of employment, and enjoying the rain. Apparently it snowed up in the mountains today. Beautiful stuff. I had planned on listening to The Last Zen is Stupid today, but it'll have to wait for tomorrow. I don't mind putting it off a little longer.
